Rating: ★★
Feb 15, 2000Slasher Film
The eighth of the Friday the 13th films that offers the novelty on the formula in taking a revived Jason to New York City. Actually, one of the better entries in the series, which plays his encounters with New York locals for some amusement

Apr 23, 2002Sword and Sorcery
Back when Dwayne Johnson was still a wrestler and billing himself as The Rock, this was a forgettable sword and sorcery effort spun off from his appearance in The Mummy Returns. For the lightweight effort it is, it has surprisingly enough spun off multiple sequels

Nov 19, 2019Adventure Film/Quest for Mythic Artifacts
The first of several tv movies that later became the basis of a tv series about a team that collect mythic artifacts. An unapologetic copy of the Indiana Jones films on a lesser budget and surprisingly more fun than I expected it to be

Apr 9, 2014Animation/Videogame Adaptation/Spaceship of Mutated Dead
Animated spinoff of the videogame. Your first impression is that animation is not suited for a gore-drenched film. One's misgivings are silenced by the wildly phantasmagoric range of creatures the film throws at you

Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)

May 19, 2011Comic-Book Superhero/Animation
One of the best of the animated Batman films, telling the story of the overlooked Robin Jason Todd and his resurrection as the villain Red Hood, a film that has an adult tone and comes with immensely exciting action scenes

Green Lantern: Emerald Knights (2011)

Green Lantern: Emerald Knights (2011)
Rating: ★★★
Oct 15, 2013Animation/Tales of the Green Lantern Corps
Animated film that tells different stories of various members of the Green Lantern Corps (including two stories from Alan Moore). Another of the always worthwhile animated DC adaptations

Age of Tomorrow (2014)

Oct 29, 2015The Asylum Mockbuster/Alien Invasion
The Asylum's mockbuster answer to the Tom Cruise film Edge of Tomorrow, which has very little to do with it other than both featuring an alien invasion. A film created with more ambition than budget to convey it
